Session Hijacking

Also known as session theft (and sometimes as cookie hijacking), the act of an attacker taking control of a user session after successfully obtaining or generating an authentication session ID. The attacker uses captured, brute-forced, or reverse-engineered session IDs to take control of a legitimate user’s web application session while the session is still in progress.
